Biological Analysis Methods
-
Cell Counting Kit-8 Assay (CCK-8)
CCK-8 assay allows sensitive colorimetric assays for the determination of cell viability in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays.
-
Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy (CD)
Circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) uses circularly polarized light to investigate structural aspects of optically active chiral media.
-
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM)
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is an optical imaging technique to scan an object using a focused laser beam to allow for a 3-D reconstruction.
-
Kirby-Bauer Test (Disk Diffusion Test)
The Kirby-Bauer Test (disk-diffusion test) is a technology to test the effectiveness of antibiotics on a specific micro-organism.
-
MTT Assay
MTT assay is used to measure cellular metabolic activity as an indicator of cell viability, proliferation and cytotoxicity.
-
Optical Density Measurement (OD600)
Optical density measurement (OD or OD600) is used in microbiology to estimate the concentration of bacteria or other cells in a liquid.
-
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is commonly used to measure gene expression in real time.
-
Western Blot
Western blot is a laboratory method widely used to detect specific protein molecules from among a mixture of proteins.
